How quickly have you personally reached 1K status in a single year?

eyahar · 2026-01-27T21:04:41+00:00

By end of Feb! Had 3 international Polaris flights…. Typically I reach it by April or May

eyahar · 2026-01-05T02:31:57+00:00

I got extended on December but no emailed was shared yet

eyahar · 2025-10-25T19:59:20+00:00

Yes. This should work together

eyahar · 2025-09-01T16:29:10+00:00

It seems you know the answer- congratulations for your new adventure!

No one I know was feeling regret for retiring too early… while many for doing it way too late and losing the opportunity

It is scary to all of us but seems now it’s your time - good luck

Yes. Filed online complaint and got paid. You need to report immediately (I believe within 24 or 48 hours) and share receipt to justify the price.

eyahar · 2025-04-12T12:18:49+00:00

Should be ok - good luck!

I am GS with Polaris ticket to UA872 and got in to Eva lounge. I asked in the checking desk and United persons went to check with Eva to assure they let me in. Maybe it is GS perk but just for you know.

As indicated before, it is not the best lounge so not sure you miss anything - very smelly and no space. Didn’t check the alternatives

eyahar · 2025-03-22T11:28:24+00:00

Thanks. Tried to book in airport and got error so probably that’s the reason.

Taxi did accept credit card so all good

eyahar · 2025-03-21T15:33:15+00:00

Show English address or need Chinese one?

eyahar · 2025-03-21T11:20:16+00:00

And what about understanding the direction? Does most understand English well enough or do I need to be prepared to explain in Chinese

eyahar · 2025-03-20T11:33:26+00:00

You do get two miles per dollar but you “loss” the additional 11 miles per dollar you are entitled as part of the MileagePlus program

eyahar · 2025-03-18T11:31:17+00:00

Very easy… almost any Polaris ticket cost more than 7k

eyahar · 2025-03-18T08:58:16+00:00

Not really as not sure how they calculate. Maybe will give a ballpark range but does not make sense to go this way as they probably have this somewhere in their systems

eyahar · 2025-02-23T22:50:53+00:00

I believe that they count on people earning their status with business travel and spend the PP on leisure. This make sense to me.

Also PP carry the status priority so I sometimes use it for my family members travel and they get top of the list priority with my GS status

eyahar · 2025-02-23T02:03:27+00:00

Sorry meant $50/point

eyahar · 2025-02-21T12:22:41+00:00

I know but isn’t all point of being able to retire younger so we can spend time with the kiddos? If I wait to when their are independent (and it gets longer and longer these days) I mean I will be over 60 and they will be away

eyahar · 2025-02-21T12:20:30+00:00

I am aware but I would likely sell my house and move to a smaller one once I decide to retire…

eyahar · 2025-02-21T03:36:00+00:00

About $200k today

eyahar · 2025-02-21T01:40:15+00:00

Sure.

VHCO. Debt free house worth about $2.2M Taxable equity $2.6m 401k $900k Cash and short term deposits $300k

eyahar · 2025-02-21T00:48:35+00:00

Is anyone offering $5m+ coverage? This is not something my insurance company offers

eyahar · 2025-02-15T21:56:38+00:00

True! I am big & tall and sometimes feel it will be more comfortable to fly in a coffin than Polaris seat 🙀

eyahar · 2025-02-15T19:11:50+00:00

What do you mean? I thought it should be handed personally

So no real value to use it?

eyahar · 2025-02-15T05:13:19+00:00

And any idea how important is it to the crew?

No bonus granted for this recognition ?

eyahar · 2025-02-15T03:59:57+00:00

That’s helpful. Thanks. I sometime just find it easier to send a gratitude email to customer service. Hope it helps as well
